摘要: PURPOSE To determine the efficacy and safety of naked plasmid gene therapy to corneal stroma epithelium. METHODS Naked DNA was injected under pressure into cornea mice. The expression genes coding for beta galactosidase (beta-gal), enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble Flt-1 (s-Flt) recorded measured with regard dose, time course, bioactivity. RESULTS LacZ beta-gal demonstrated as early 1 hour, persisting 10 days. Plasmid-injected corneas remained clear free inflammation. EGFP bicistronically expressed VEGF demonstrate practicality simultaneous in vivo analysis Corneal injection a containing cDNA induced anterior chamber neovascularization. Moreover, form receptor effectively prevented CONCLUSIONS is readily accessible laboratory clinic. method described safe, effective, titratable, easily monitored. delivery has potential alter treatment wide variety segment diseases.
